John planned a special day for our 4th anniversary this year. It started with gifts, totally spoiling me as usual. I knew I liked the idea of having a good camera, but I always convinced myself that it wasn't necessary because our iPhones were good enough. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's kind of like when I refused to give in to the concept of expensive jeans because I figured my cheap ones worked just the same. (That's totally false btw. Expensive jeans are totally worth it.)

Our 3rd annual 3rd of July Sausage Fest was a success! Our town celebrates Independence Day on the 3rd of July, so we started a tradition 3 years ago of having friends over for sausages, games and fireworks.

I recently realized that my spirit animal is a flamingo. I don't know why I haven't settled on this sooner. They are bright pink and tall, just like me. Ever since I realized this, I have been absolutely obsessed with flamingos. Naturally, I built a Pinterest board and have been pinning away for days now. I have a feeling there will be a lot more flamingo-related posts to follow, but in the meantime, check out these awesome flamingo products that I came across.
